Trump tried to do a deal…..without immediately ending the blockade???

The whiplash of hearing talks about Hormuz being reopened under Iranian control vs the Houthis actively instituting a blockade w/ Iran support on Saudi tankers in Bab el-Mandeb Strait….what are we doing here

One day, after seeing this every cycle we will finally internalize this….maybe once Trump kicks it so we all don’t react out of existential fear and dread but probably not today lmao

Don’t love the excuse “it’s hard to poll Michigan primaries bc they’re open” bc so are Georgia and we have always done fine

So the deal won’t likely happen?

It’s underrated how after losing Rogers retired to Florida which is why when being taken to account on anything, he doesn’t have a response

I hope Peggy Flanagan tries to make whatever more limited ad buys she can and highlight Craig hounding Hoffman a shooting victim for an endorsement (tho I’m more optimistic MN being college-educated helps her)

I hope the El-Sayed scare light a fire under national progressives’ asses to lock the fuck in for Flanagan, Hong, and Markey Congress is about to go on recess, Bernie/AOC/Warren better be camping out in Minnesota Wisconsin and Massachusetts for the next month

Basically everything about my politics can be explained by becoming politically active in 2016 bc of immigration and gun control (which explains what I felt about Sanders then lol) & my mom raising me in homeless advocacy made me a “housing is the theory of everything esp for climate”

One of my most paradoxical takes is I will always be a Sunrise Movement defender bc I’m fucking tired of ppl ignoring how bad liberal climate politics were pre-Sunrise Robinson Meyer wrote how unprepared Dems were in 2017- Sunrise changed that! www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Democrats Are Shockingly Unprepared to Fight Climate ChangeThere’s no magic bill waiting in the wings—and no quick path to arriving at one.www.theatlantic.com

One of my least favorite things on social media is when ppl -in an effort to prove intellectual superiority- act in supreme bad faith and unwittingly reveal their own ignorance in their arrogance “Air travel has gotten worse” “So you just want luxury air travel again”- BFFR

I feel like ppl aren’t distinguishing btwn air travel being for the elites *50 years ago* and air travel notoriously getting worse over the *past 25 years* due to increased regulation that killed competition & incentivizes airline to not care about satisfaction at all prospect.org/2017/11/03/u...

Unfriendly Skies - The American ProspectIt’s time to admit that airline deregulation has failed passengers, workers—and economic efficiency.prospect.org

This feels like an American source bc the Iranians have publicly rejected this????

We are still engaging in an oil blockade of Cuba that is causing a massive humanitarian crisis and scores of deaths btw www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/cuba...

Cuba's Health Care Buckles Under Fuel Blockade | Think Global HealthA professor of Latin American public health details how the 2026 fuel blockade has affected every domain of Cuba's health systemwww.thinkglobalhealth.org

Was baffled I got blocked until I realized OP was Catholic lol (in my defense they were talking about Total Depravity so I thought they weren’t lol)

Tbh the issue a lot of ppl are having with Emily Wilson’s critiques of the Odyssey is that films aren’t often seen as literature and ppl are disjointed by her performing a literary analysis that is absent from most film criticism Imo it’s welcome bc I never understood why film isn’t seen as lit

We were the minority in the 2019/20 and….tbh there’s no sense vindication in being right. I hate Ed but I pray he wins next month

Tbh imo, underrated how good Hong is when she isn’t asked to defend old tweets- so clear, direct, and knowledgeable on state policy Obviously telegenic too
